The early setup code for the ColdFire 53xx platform accesses variables
before the RAM and other system initialization steps may have taken place.
Currently it has 2 global variables that will end up in the bss section
that are accessed during this early setup. There is a special static RAM
stack setup at this time, but not necessarily the RAM where kernel data
sections will end up.
Even on system setups where RAM is setup by a boot loader the access
to the early setup variables is before the BSS section has been initialized.
This can potentially corrupt a ram loaded root filesystem that sits in that
memory area before it has been moved.
These 2 variables are not used at all after being set, and can just be
removed.

Move the m68k ColdFire platform support code directory to be with the
existing m68k platforms. Although the ColdFire is not a platform as such,
we have always kept all its support together. No reason to change that
as this time.
